We enjoyed our one night with Peter. Guests should be aware that though this is listed as a B&B the breakfast is a self service continental. Don’t expect to be served a hearty bacon and eggs. Still enjoyed our stay by the ocean.

A beautiful property in a great location. Very quiet, nicely decorated and a self serve breakfast was available. The gardens were stunning. My only negative is the room could do with the removal of the spiders in the corners.

Lovely and very laid back b&b in a great spot. You are treated as one of the family and the door is always unlocked. We left a shirt in the room when we left and Sarah posted it to us without any trouble. Can highly recommend

Quaint B&B in a remarkable location. The view from the B&B is simply spectacular, walking distance to the seal colony (do not miss the hike), the town is nearby with plenty of eating venues. Pete was very hospitable, and even arranged dinner reservations for us. Clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast was self-serve continental.

Great Location at The Point
Pete is a fantastic host, beautiful view from my room. Although it's a working farm, the room was spotless as is the house. Really nice spread for breakfast. Easy walk to see the Seals at The Point & equidistant to Kaikoura Seafood BBQ, as well.

Wow! Absolutely amazing stay. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with such warming genine hospitality. Our room was just perfect and to be made to feel so welcome just topped our stay. The homely feeling and views were simply superb! Sadly reality kicked back in and we had to leave. A real piece ofstunning paradise

I actually liked the location which offered a wonderful view of the ocean from my bedroom window. The room was small but cozy; the owner was friendly and warm. I never got the TV in the room to work properly but this was a minor concern, as I didn't visit such a beautiful town to watch TV! I slept very well, as I was able to keep my windows open at night and could hear the ocean. I would definitely stay here again!

To the Point!
Lovely place to stay, close to shoreline and fantastic views of the Seaward Kaikouras. Super nice Peter (Pat) was our host, and made us feel very welcome. Booked restaurant for us and drove us there too. We had garden room with views of flowering roses, with characterful spacious bathroom, would recommend.

We did not see anyone at the property apart from a brief conversation with the owner after his "day out" in Christchurch. I understand the owner was recently bereaved (6mths ago)but if you are going to run a business employ someone to deal with reception etc. Unsettling stay.

A hidden gem.
We were disappointed we had only booked one night stay. A beautiful place to stay. A small farm with farm animals and seals just across the road. Breakfast and accommodation was perfect. Could not fault. A short distance to a lovely old hotel on the beach. The hotel served excellent meals.

Nice view of the bay. Although we checked in at 2 pm I didn't feel like the property was ready for us. There were no towels (which we requested and were brought), we were never given a key to our room, never told the wifi code and never told to come in for breakfast.

I am sorry you didnt feel your room was ready for you. In our rooms we have information book which has the wifi code on the inside cover. I am not sure about the breakfast problem but we do ask all guests what time they would like their breakfast and are always ready at that time. We do hope you enjoyed your time in Kaikoura and are having a great Holiday.
